Excellent addition, first impression is it works smoothly. Just noticed one thing which is at odds with your GIF Ash – the numerical value for each axes doesn't update in live time when you adjust the slider, it only updates when you close and reopen the variable font panel: Variable font slider not updating in live time.mp4

Very minor one but in the 2.4.2 (2356) beta build, the thumbnails for some of the HDR lessons/samples are rotated: Circular flame is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise and Blue Ballerina is upside down

And just to confirm, the same behaviour is present on iPad - I can't set selection for groups of groups

Wow! I can’t believe I never noticed it before…

No, it's still there after zooming in and out

In Designer 2.4.0, when you create a curve with more than two nodes, then delete one of the nodes, the control handle for the deleted nodes reappears when transforming a connected control handle: Node handle remains after deleted.mp4

Not sure if best to post here or create a new bug report on the release forum, but I've noticed two issues with the set selection command: The shortcut "CMD + ." exits full screen mode when nothing is selected (or when the set selection option is not available on a selected group/layer). I am unable to set selection on a group of grouped curves. In the video, I have already set the child groups' default selection box, but I've also tested without having set their selection boxes, and the behaviour is still the same. Below video shows both issues in action on release build 2.4.0 on MacOS. Not been able to test on Windows or iPad yet. Set Selection bugs.mp4

Thanks @NotMyFault Didn't think about using live projection - I forgot that was a feature in Photo, so thanks for reminding me! Re your first post, I had hoped that selecting all incl the empty areas would avoid problems around irregular aspect ratios but perhaps not. I suppose if I wanted to keep with the polar filter route, I could add a 2:1 rectangle behind my image, flatten, then apply the filter and inpaint the solid colour region. Either way, it's much slower and cumbersome than the live projection option so I won't be using the polar filters for this going forward!

Hi all, I'm editing a 360 equirectangular panorama in Photo 2.3.1, and I want to inpaint an area of the ground where I didn't take any pictures due to my tripod being in the way. I am following the below steps, and at the end of the Polar Coordinates filters, my end panorama is duplicated side-by-side and the layer's size jumps from 23,522 x 11761 to 47,074 x 23,537. Steps I'm following: 1. Flip Vertical 2. Align the sky region to the bottom of the canvas 3. Select all 4. Run the Rectangular to Polar filter 5. Scale the width in half 6. Inpaint the empty ground area 7. Scale the width by two 8. Run the Polar to Rectangular filter 9. Flip Vertical After these steps, you can see in the screen record that my layer has been duplicated in some way. It's not the end of the world because I can just Rasterise & Trim, but it is unexpected behaviour. Polar Coordinates.mp4

Yes, I also find this and feel there’s unrealised potential in the tool. If the knife tool had the same snapping behaviour as the pen tool it would be much more powerful for precision drawing. It’s great as it is for non-precision art, but it could be so much better!

Could well be - thanks for the explanation!

Hi @MEB I've received my Sony A9iii (ILCE-9M3) and when I open RAW files in Photo 2.4 beta, it looks OK to start, but actually the bottom and right edges have bars of black pixels: These aren't present in Lightroom for reference: Here's the .ARW file for reference. It was captured in the RAW lossless compressed format. A9302665.ARW And for what it's worth, I can open the same file in Photo 2.3 and it renders exactly the same with the black bars. Very happy to provide more samples with this camera if you need.

I've just done a full reboot and the problem has gone away on both release and beta versions of the app... Not sure if that means it was a Mac issue or Affinity issue but great news for me either way now it's working properly

Hi Callum, Thanks for the suggestion, but that option is deselected: Thanks Max

Not related to the functionality of this feature, but more the usability/stability, I've noticed that when checking the "and show / hide others" option you get a flicker which isn't present on other check boxes: Show hide others bug.mp4
